Chapter 454: Advantages of top players

Cole was very anxious. The Warriors' regular season record is not very important now, but they need to find a solution to the opponent's defense. This is a preview of the finals. Both sides are looking for the problems that the opponent will have at different times on the offensive end and see how they will deal with it.

Lin Sen is now exerting strength on the defensive end and will not leave the court at all. After playing half a quarter with Durant, he completely failed to deal with the top dealer on the defensive end. This defensive intensity made former best defensive player Bill Walton fascinated in the commentary seat. Lin Sen is a center. Except for physical monsters like Chamberlain, how many centers can play like this?

Looking at his perpetual motion machine skill package, this is really a magical skill. Now Lin Sen can basically maintain the average playing time in the first three quarters of each game at about 10 minutes, and generally play full in the third quarter. However, there are too many clocks after get off work in the third quarter, so now, Lin Sen has not played much.

This side finally clarified his playing style. Curry started to practice offense and defense with the ball in the halftime. Oladipo was intensified as soon as Curry crossed the center line. His strength caused great trouble for Curry's dribbling. At least the spiritual dribbling was not visible when he played in the finals last year. The dealer who had just been scolded by the coach was still very clear about what he was going to do at this time.

The pick-and-roll was very quickly, and the position was already two meters away from the three-point line, and the quality of this pick-and-roll was far from comparable to the effect of McGee coming to the pick-and-roll at the beginning. This pick-and-roll gave Curry an opportunity, not a chance to shoot a three-pointer, but a chance to break through. Lin Sen, who was replaced by defense, was still 1 meter away from the three-point line. At this position, he was more defensive than Curry. Perhaps Lin Sen, who is above the league level, would not be very comfortable to defend. No matter how outstanding the big defense is, there is a range. Big guys cannot chase the small guys all the way.

Curry's stop was very beautiful and accelerated directly to the inside. Without Lin Sen's inside guard, the Pacers inside guard, what's the difference between it and other teams? Oh, by the way, although their power forward is not Garlinari now, and substitute Saidis Young, it is useless under the guard. This pounce hits directly on his face. Curry completed a dodge in the air and sent the basketball from the side to the basket. This beautiful goal finally helped the Warriors slowly get back the depressed momentum.

"It should have been a long time ago! Just give the ball to Stephen and be a good tool guy, hold the ball? He is now on a championship team, not a bad team that can level up for him."

Lin Sen is not an Iron Man, so of course he has to rest. In the last two minutes of the first quarter, it was the time when Lin Sen usually went down to rest. When Lin Sen got off the game, the opponent set up a double MVP lineup and rushed to the inside line wildly.

The Pacers became the best team in the pick-and-roll defense because Lin Sen was on the court. When Lin Sen left the court, Turner could also come up to maintain strength, but this maintaining strength definitely does not include facing two misplaced masters, Curry and Durant.

Curry started to fire a shot against Turner outside the three-point line. Just under the bench, Turner saw how Curry passed it in one step because Lin Sen was too close. So when he faced the pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, he chose to let go a little. As a result, Curry completed the ** from one step outside the three-point line.

"Stephen should not be given a chance to make a three-pointer. He is the guy who gets crazy the more he shoots. When he makes a three-pointer, then for the Warriors, it is not just Stephen Curry who changes, but the tactics of the entire Warriors will become more abundant." Lin Sen frowned. He thought Turner's defensive choice in this round was not right.

The defensive assistant coach on the side also nodded: "Stephen must not give him space or give him confidence in taking action, otherwise your defensive rhythm will completely follow them."

Curry is not the kind of player who scores by himself and then scores crazy. He is a double-season guard and is also a defender in the team's label. This season, 6 assists per game are often not in the Warriors who share the ball, and it is very difficult.

Curry's offensive ability to chase the pick-and-roll is far more than just Curry's shots and misalignment after the pick-and-roll, but also his pass. Green finally rushed to the basket while Lin Sen was away. Curry's pass from the ground was very comfortable to pass into Green's hand, and the latter easily hit the basket. If Green hadn't had three-pointers at all recently, he would have been a bit like Lin Sen in 2015-16, with defense, ability to get down and three-pointers, and he would have more passes than Lin Sen at that time. For the three Tsunami brothers, if he could assist properly, he would still be a good tool.

Lin Sen didn't go on for long, but the score that was originally played was completely beaten back in an instant. The Pacers' defensive system and defensive positioning had no problem, and they were completely broken by the opponent's historical offense.

"It's useless to keep defending. Pacers have to attack. On the offensive end, they're hesitating a little bit. To put it nicely, this is sharing the ball. To put it bluntly, they can't find a breakthrough point. Victor is their No. 2 player, but his performance tonight is one level worse than Stephen, Kevin, and Lin. This is the importance of Paul at the beginning. In such a game, it's obvious that Paul has to play better in such a game." Bill Walton never thought how good the Pacers trade was. Even after they won a super-continuous victory and were first in the East, the chemistry was better than everyone thought, but Bill Walton still thought the Pacers lost.

Oladipo was also very anxious and wanted to perform, but the opponent was not very good at the offensive end tonight, but the defensive end was full. Thompson had an advantage in physical confrontation. In the past, when playing with the Cavaliers, Love could not resist Thompson at all. Oladipo was indeed strong, but he had no advantage in strength.
